Identify Potential Employers

You need not wait for a position to be advertised in order to send your resumé and a great cover letter to companies and organizations. To locate potential employers in your field of interest, use the following resources and ideas:

Network, network, network. Create a list of everyone you know. Ask them if they know anyone you might talk to. Do this - it works - often better than formal ways of job hunting, since people like to hire people they know. Join social networking groups such as Linkedin.com.

Find a listserv, (email discussion group) within your profession.

Use in-house postings. (Work as a temp so that you can see available positions or get your employed friends to look at listings of available jobs within their organizations.)

Read professional journals and newspapers in your field.

Determine trends. Find out who's leaving, who's been promoted, and which organizations are growing. Send your resumé to those organizations where you believe new people will be hired.

Write letters asking for advice to people who have written articles you like.
